Somewhere I Belong by Mocha Dragon

Chapter 6 - Acceptance

- With Hermione, 2001 –

Ron. She could still imagine his freckled face, flaming red hair, gangly form…his love for food. And then Harry; his raven hair, piercing emerald eyes. Hermione held back a sob.

She didn't know what to believe anymore as Malfoy's words echoed teasingly in her mind.

Half-responsible. Half-responsible. But what did that mean?

The tears threatened to fall as Hermione stared unwaveringly into Malfoy's seemingly fathomless, grey eyes. She never realised the colour of his eyes until now. Perhaps it was because of the way they seemed to camouflage and shine dully when he looked back at her now. Like concrete slates; boring, never-ending and hard.

She was at a loss for words. The intensity of the few days she had spent in this new world weighed on her shoulders and she sagged. When had it gotten so out of hand? So uncontrollable that she couldn't stop herself from wanting to know everything. How Ron had died, why Goyle had suddenly acquired an IQ higher than a goldfish's, why Harry was friends with a Malfoy, why she had married him, why the Dark Mark wasn't imprinted in his flesh…why Malfoy was like this.

Why she began to silently acknowledge these turn of events? Perhaps it was because she knew it couldn't be any other way. She didn't know anything about this world, didn't trust anyone, didn't understand everything. Feeling heavy, Hermione let her thoughts drift away from Ron and his murder. Maybe it was all a dream. Maybe she would wake up later and laugh at the absurdity of all of this…

Any minute now, she promised herself.

It never happened. She was living the nightmare.

"Ferr – Mal – Draco" she whispered. This time when she said it, she didn't say it quickly like it was venom that could fatally harm her; she said it gently, softly, letting his name roll off her tongue.

She understood now. She was stuck in this world. Perhaps Dumbledore or Harry or Ron could get her out of it. But, Hermione knew she had to accept everything for now. Beginning with Draco Malfoy.

For now; only for now. Things will go back to what they where when I'm back where I belong, she promised herself as she spoke his name. It was so foreign.

He tilted his head and touched her face gently.

"Why did we marry anyway?"

It was a blunt question but Hermione was known to be blunt. Better than beating around the bush. The journey of acceptance began with questions, after all.

He smirked as he brushed his long fingers against her cheek.

"That might have to do with a few of my attributes. Not to mention my sexy smile and body. Oh, and don't forget the way you were begging for it"

So it seemed there was still a ghost of the old Malfoy. Hermione glared at him half-heartedly.

"Say whatever you like Malfoy but we both know your body had nothing to do with it. What sane woman would want you? Especially with an ego the size of my belly." she teased.

He growled "I'll have you know women flock at my feet. Why here's one right now" he said lowly, brushing his blond hair off his face and smiling handsomely at her as if to prove his point. Hermione smiled hesitantly and before she knew it, he had lowered his head and his lips were mere inches away from her own pink lips. His warmth was tangible and Hermione felt a sudden urge to touch his hair and see if it was really as soft as it looked. So blond…and fluffy…and –

Immediately, all thoughts flew from her head as he inched even closer, his breath tickling her face. She gazed into his eyes. Grey. Like stone.

Abruptly and despite the way her heart was beating as if she was some love-sick girl, she pushed him away, in hopes of making it seem like it was playful.

"I don't know what you're talking about, ferret" Hermione said, in what she hoped was a teasing tone. Only thing was, it sounded more like she had run a marathon.

He laughed "We'll soon see"

He then caught her hands in his and kissed each of her fingers lightly, making her shiver. He was so affectionate. It was almost...nice.

"Stop it Draco! You're tickling me!" she laughed, before quickly realising what was happening.

She added hastily "Besides, I have one more question for you"

He groaned "You always ruin the fun"

But he complied anyway and looked up at her. Hermione smiled.

"Why…why do you love me so? We used to hate each other. You hated me! I was a mudblood, and you a pureblood. A Malfoy. We – " Hermione stuttered – "- we don't belong with each other!"

Malfoy flinched.

"Hermione, why do you ask these things so suddenly? Don't you feel it too? Don't question things like this. Just feel" His voice was passionate and his eyes flashed. His eyes had changed – they were so strong…so firey. And yet, how could grey emit fire?

"Feel what?" she asked hoarsely, captivated by his fierce eyes. She wanted to know how his eyes could become so lighted with fervour. Almost as if they were on fire. And yet, they were grey. And grey simply couldn't hold emotions such as this. Grey was dull. Boring. Lifeless.

He laughed bitterly. "You don't feel it?"

His eyes changed again. They were dark. The deepest grey Hermione had ever seen. So grey they were almost black. But that was impossible too! Hermione shivered nonetheless. Black had never been a favourite colour of hers.

"Feel what?" she persisted. He looked away from her.

"Nothing. Let's go. We'll be late for the doctor's appointment if we don't go soon."

No pet names. Not even her name was uttered. Hermione knew she said something wrong. And she felt bad for that. But before she could delve deeper, Malfoy had risen.

"Wait, Draco!" He turned back to look at her, expressionlessly. That was the Malfoy she knew. Heartless, emotionless. Like stone.

"I – I'm sorry…" she trailed off, feeling foolish.

"For what?"

"For…" she didn't know what she was sorry for.

He shook his head faintly.

"For hurting you." Hermione finally whispered.

He smiled but his eyes said otherwise.

"You didn't" he replied firmly. Clearly, he still hid some things from her.

And so began the journey of accepting Draco Malfoy.

xXxXxXx

- With Harry and Ron, 1998 at Hogwarts –

"Right you two. I've had enough of your moping around. Utterly miserable! I'm taking you out – "

Ron started to open his mouth in protest but as soon as he saw the threatening look his younger sister threw at him, he shut his mouth.

"Up now! Hermione wouldn't want to see you like this."

And like that, they boys were up and dragged out of the portrait hole by a determined flaming haired girl.

"Gin…where are you taking us?" Harry asked warily. Ginny glared at him viciously.

"Out so you two can stop this nonsense. Hermione will be alright." Harry cowered under her glare and quickened his pace to match Ginny's.

"You know Ron's miserable" he whispered to her, making her look back to see, an indeed, most miserable Ron, Ginny and Harry had ever come upon.

Ginny sighed. "Don't worry, Harry. I'll sort him out" she flashed him a smile which he returned, making her blush lightly.

"You just worry about yourself"

Harry chuckled "You'll make a great mother one day"

Looking up at him with doe-like eyes, Ginny quickly lowered her lashes as he returned her gaze. She blushed profusely, hoping he was too dense to notice anything. Sure enough, he failed to notice the tomato-like colour that seemed to have stained Ginny's cheeks permanently.

"Hey mate!" Harry called back to the lagging Ron who raised his head and caught up with the two.

"Ron, Hermione will be fine. Have some faith in her. Honestly, if anyone is expected to get out of this mess, it's Hogwarts smartest – "

"Mudblood?" a cold sneering voice finished, effectively cutting off what Ginny was about to say.

"Ferret" Harry acknowledged venomously. Ron and Harry were on guard immediately. Despite the lack of wands, they had their fists. And that was all they needed if Malfoy went over the line.

"Why if it isn't the broken up Trio. Missing the bushy-haired mudblood, no doubt? No more conversation except the occasional grunt between you two, I expect" he sneered, gesturing to a fuming Ron and Harry.

"Don't you dare call her – that – that foul name!" Ron roared, quick to come to Hermione's defence.

Ginny held him back, hoping his robes wouldn't rip at the pressure he was exerting as he tried in vain, to box Malfoy's ears in. And no doubt, a few other of his albino features.

"Sod off, Malfoy" Ginny said calmly, hoping Harry wouldn't turn rash also. Malfoy always seemed to be able to bring out the worst in everyone.

"No. I don't think I will" he replied maliciously, clearly enjoying the scene.

"Tell me, Malfoy. Are you starting to feel any guilt after Hermione's disappearance? It is your fault after all. If it wasn't for you, she wouldn't be in some other dimension" Harry laughed coldly as he taunted Malfoy, making Ginny shudder.

He looked at Malfoy levelly, then said in mock realization, "Oops. I forgot. You don't have a heart."

That did it. In one swift motion, Malfoy had launched himself on an unsuspecting Harry.

"Harry! STOP IT! Harry!" Ginny squealed as Harry fought back fiercely from under Malfoy. Taking advantage of the moment, Ron pulled free from Ginny's grasp and joined the boxing match. Ron, in a vain attempt to get Malfoy off his friend, pulled at the blond's hair with considerable strength, grunting as he gleefully inflicted pain on him. It only took a few fleeting seconds for Malfoy to realise what was happening.

And all hell broke loose. No one messed with Malfoy's hair

With an outraged cry (most likely the most animalistic sound Malfoy had ever made), Malfoy, with the grace of a leopard, leapt towards a triumphant Ron, attacking the unsuspecting red-head.

"Ron! RON! Harry! Stop it! You're being idiots!" a frenzied Ginny yelled as she neared the fighting ball. That wasn't enough to stop them.

"That's ENOUGH!"

But that was. A red-faced, thin-lipped, frazzled Professor McGonagall stood beside a pale Ginny. Her wand was at ready and her expression was deadly.

Harry was the first to look up. Sheepishly, clutching his broken glasses, he scrambled off the body of males (he had promptly flew at Malfoy when he attacked Ron). Malfoy was next as he was second in the thinning pile of males. With a sneer, he reluctantly pulled himself off Ron, kicking his shins sharply for good measure. That left Ron; bloody, bruised, miserable.

"Never. Never–have–I–ever–had–the–utter-most–displeasure–of-watching-a–despicable–male–brawl–such-as–this." She enunciated each word with care, making sure to glare dangerously into each of the three injured boys eyes.

"I do not even want to know the details. This is completely unacceptable behaviour. Especially from Seventh years! I expected better from all of you but it seems Ms. Granger was the only sensible one" McGonagall sniffed as she mentioned her favourite student.

"Allfour of you will receive detentions and have certain privileges taken away. Your guardians will be written to and informed of the disgrace you have caused. No doubt, your guardians will have suitable punishments for each of you too. 50 points from each of you, excluding Ms Weasley, will be deducted from your houses." She finished, eyes flashing angrily, as if daring anyone to argue with her. But no-one did. Not even Ginny, who had received detention.

"You will be informed later of the detentions each of you will serve. Now I expect you all to go to Madame Pomfrey with no more fuss. If I hear even the slightest raise of voice, you will be serving three times the amount of detention you were before. Understood?" she asked severely.

Hastily, the four nodded. As soon as they were dismissed, Malfoy walked, half-limping and swaying dangerously like he was drunk, towards the Hospital Wing. Ginny found herself wishing he would knock himself out as he swayed dangerously close to the Statue of the three-headed dog. No such luck though, as Malfoy missed it by mere inches and continued on his way.

Sighing, Ginny helped Harry support Ron in between them andfollowed Malfoy at a safe distance.

"I told you two not to! But you never listen. Now look what's happened!" Ginny hissed. Ron was too dazed to even acknowledge Ginny while Harry looked guilty at her.

"It was his fault though!"

A fierce glare was directed at the Boy-who-lived.

"If you know best, you would know not to mess with me, Harry James Potter!"

He gulped.

xXxXx

"Hermione, you done?"

Jerked out of her daze, Hermione looked up to see a man with chestnut brown hair, abnormally pale skin and lovely jade eyes attired in Muggle jeans and a casual black sweater that contrasted with his pale skin.

She blinked.

"Hermione?"

She blinked again, rubbed her eyes and looked to see the same man with chestnut hair.

"Umm…do I know you?" she asked timidly. Who in Merlin's name was this? It seemed this world was full of surprises. Bad surprises.

He frowned then. Bugger.

"I mean….I do know you!" Hermione laughed nervously, still surveying the man's face. It was familiar but she couldn't put a name to it. Who else would be in this house? And where was the ferret when you need him!

He wrinkled his brows but smirked nonetheless.

Smirked. Smirked. Smirked. No one else smirked but –

"Draco Malfoy!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Yes that's me. Are you feeling alright?"

Hermione blushed "Yes…I'm fine" she smiled brightly and attempted to lift herself off the couch. But as expected, to no avail.

Groaning, she lifted her arms in a sign of giving up so she could be pulled up. Swiftly, she was pulled off the sofa and into his arms. Blushing, Hermione pulled back and inspected his face carefully. He certainly looked much warmer with green eyes and messy chestnut hair.

Of course a disguise would be necessary for a trip to the doctor's. After all, he was a murderer. Or something like that.

Hermione sighed as she felt a headache coming on. She had enough surprises for one day. Especially unpleasant, sour surprises that involved the one person she couldn't read – Draco Malfoy. She was rather peeved at the fact she could never read his emotions, despite the rare times he would let his guard down. Huffing, Hermione made her way out of the lounge with Malfoy trailing after her in his Muggle attire.

Those jade eyes. They look so much like Harry's.

Hermione sighed as she thought of her best friend.

"-mione. Hermione!"

Immediately, she was interrupted from her reverie.

"Yes?"

"Are you forgetting something?"

"Um…not that I can remember" she replied, hoping it wouldn't get her into trouble.

He sighed. "Your pregnancy is by far the worst I've ever seen" Hermione glared at him.

"You're supposed to be supportive, you know"

He simply glared back. "Only if you try to help me"

Hermione reddened. He was insufferable! Husbands, she thought, were supposed to be supportive and caring. Always ready to help. "I'm pregnant. What do you expect!" It was a statement, rather than a question. But Malfoy answered nonetheless.

He raised his eyebrow at her "That you stop using that excuse for everything you do. Merlin, Hermione! You barely remember anything anymore and to top that off, you always pull away whenever I touch you. It's almost like you're another person" he growled, roughly taking Hermione's hand and dragging her up the stairs.

Silently, Hermione let him drag her to their bedroom.

This was probably the second fight she'd had with Malfoy in less than 2 days. And to think they were a married couple. Hermione snorted inelegantly.

Perhaps I'm being too mean to the ferret. I am supposed to be "accepting" him after all.

The seed of doubt was planted.

"Sit down and I'll get the wig and contacts for you." Hermione's eyes widened but she nodded nevertheless. Malfoy was looking particularly murderous right now and she didn't dare question him.

He returned with a strawberry blonde coloured wig that would reach below Hermione's shoulder and contacts.

As he handed the wig and contacts to Hermione, she grabbed his hand. It was strange. She was doing the touching for once. His hand was large, his fingers slim. He glared at her when she wouldn't let go.

"I'm not, you know" Hermione whispered, as she looked earnestly at him. This had to seem real. Believable.

He frowned, his face creasing and lips thinning.

"What are you talking about?"

Hermione persisted. "I'm not any different. I – you know I love you." She said this firmly and his eyes softened. Well, as soft as grey can look. Although Hermione wasn't accustomed to lying (she preferred being blunt), she knew this was different. She was in too deep. And she would have to be the one to solve it all. Even if it meant lying.

Suddenly and unexpectedly, Hermione felt herself being enclosed in his strong arms. Taking this as a sign that he'd forgiven her, Hermione hugged him back. For once, she welcomed this. It reminded her of the hugs Harry would give her. Not Ron though. Ron always recoiled when they got too close. Although Draco and Harry smelt completely different to each other, it was comforting nonetheless.

At least someone cared for her here. She buried her face in his warm chest, the fabric of his sweater tickling her face. She didn't allow herself to think this time. Just feel.

Just like Malfoy had told her to.

Pulling back, Hermione smiled at him.

"Better get the wig and contacts on" she said, explaining the reason.

He nodded and Hermione gingerly adjusted the wig over her mass of bushy hair.

She spluttered as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was reminded of Professor Quirrell with his large turban over his head. Hermione frowned as she was interrupted by a snort from behind her.

Looking over her shoulder, she saw Malfoy sneering at her ridiculous hair-do. She scowled at him.

"Well are you going to help or not?" Hermione demanded bossily.

He smirked. His Hermione was back.
